I ask about pets. Do you know their rules about curfew, overnight guests, alcoholic beverages in the house?

I've done lots of Skype interviews, I mostly treat it the same as a regular interview. I ask the kids things like what their favorite hobby/sport is, what their favorite subject in school is, if they have specific things they like to do with their nanny (crafts? hikes? library trips? etc). And I make sure I'm clear on all job related details with the parents.

I've been in contact with a wonderful family with a position I'm very interested in. They have twin school-aged children and they are looking for a full-time, live-in nanny. They've had their last nanny for a very significant amount of time--which is awesome. It's definitely a nanny/household manager position.

We have a Skype interview tomorrow evening and I was wondering what kinds of questions to ask. They kids will be involved, so I'm assuming it's going to be a "get to know the whole family" type of situation.

I've spoken to both mom and dad in which we discussed how their salary works/benefits/living accommodations/duties, and all of the other benefits. These were all great, and they sound like they really know how a nanny position works!

I was wondering what types of things to discuss/ask during the Skype interview.

Thanks!
